I just wasted two hours of my time looking for this video collection which I could not find. Now why did weirdal.com say it was out today when it isnt. At least now I have twenty bucks saved for something else. I really wish that they would say where its released and where it isnt. I HATE going out in freezing wheater to look for something and not find it, in Fred Myer, WalMart, and Target. :mad:

This has happen to me before with UHF dvd and that I dident find until two months later that better not happen with this one or Im not getting it.

Most stores like Wal-Mart don't get DVD's, video games, etc. the day they come out. I would give it a week or two and call to see if they have it then.

It's not Al's fault if your local stores don't carry it. Complain to the manager.

I wasnt blameing Al or I dident mean to sound like I was. I was little upset when you expect to find something then its not there. Walmart wasnt the only place I went to I went to two other places too. Im sorry I was disappointed and upset it wont happen agian.

I hope you understand.

I guess I was acting silly its only a dvd. I hope I dident make anyone mad.

Wow! 7:00 and noone's posted a review of the DVD yet? Are you all sick or something?

Anyway, here's my review (spoilers, including how to find a special Easter Egg are in the quote box. Highlight to read.):

The packaging was okay, but I really prefer the Video Library and Video Collection covers.

The menus were nice, and I like how they included the GIF instrumental (especially since I still can't get the instrumental versions to play on my stupid computer

).

The picture quality was great except I think the color was a little too strong. I had to adjust my tv's settings to make it look right. No big deal though.

I kind of liked that they were out of order, because I didn't know what would come next and so in that respect it was a little more interesting, but I don't like how most of the more recent songs all appear on the first half of the program. Oh well!

The sound was good, but did anyone else notice that the sound seemed a little off on "Ricky" and "I Love Rocky Road?" Or was it just me?

And now, special features:

[quote] Nothing new to say about the Weird Al show clips since I've seen them all before, but I SOOOO wish that Al would have done the full version of LITF!

It was neat to finally get to see the all the animation in that first part of TWAS Theme (Oooooooooooh!). I was reluctant to use the slow button on my VCR for fear of ruining my TWAS tapes. I highly reccommend watching the entire TWAS theme in slow motion. It's really cool!

The AORTB performance was really cool to see. Bermuda looked completely different and Al acted like a complete spaz! LOL! But it was still cool! It really makes you appreciate how far Al has come as a performer. :biggrin:

Finally, there was a special hidden Easter Egg!!!! A very rare, early performance of "My Balogna" recorded at Cal Poly. To access this hidden feature, go to the Special Features menu. Then, move your "curser" to the "Weird Al Show" space. Then press "Up" on your remote control. The feature will start automatically when you press Up.

I haven't found any other special features. No commentaries = sad Bruce the Duck. But it was still great to see all the videos together on one disc!

Buy it now. Before it goes out of print.

I don't know when I'm gonna be able to lay my hands on it. I haven't ordered from amazon yet because I don't know my mailing address yet.

SD, I have 6 albums plus cheesy compilations to buy...I think UV will still be here in February...right?

:nervous:

I wish I had the money to run out and buy it now just to be sure...
